The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

After the disciple-recruiting conference, all the disciples moved out of the Death Pavilion and went to the residences of the disciples in each peak.

Since Jiang Yingxue was an inner sect disciple, the room she was assigned was a little far away from Chu Ying, but very close to Yan Chuan's residence.

It was probably around midnight, night had fallen, and the outside had become quiet, with only the distant chirping of insects ringing softly in her ears. Jiang Yingxue sat at the table, about to blow out the candles. Just then, there was a crisp knock on the door.

"Who is it here so late at night?"

"Yan Chuan."

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Yingxue walked over and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Yan Chuan walked in carrying a large bag of bamboo slips, and then put them on the table.

"These are the techniques of Lanxu's Heart Method. There are six volumes in total, corresponding to the six levels of the Heart Method."

Jiang Yingxue glanced at the exercises on the table and wondered, "Didn't Master say it would start tonight? Why are you here tonight?"

"Hehe," Yan Chuan said, tugging at Jiang Yingxue with an unpleasant smile, "Because I suddenly remembered that when we were in Yun Country, you said you only had two months left to live. Now, almost twenty days have passed, so you only have one month left. What if you fail to master the technique and die in Xianyun Sect? How should I explain that?"

"Oh my God~" Jiang Yingxue covered her chest exaggeratedly: "It turns out that senior brother remembers my words so clearly, Yingxue is really touched~" After that, Jiang Yingxue started to act with Yan Chuan.

"Come on, stop pretending. It's still unknown what level you can reach." After saying that, Yan Chuan opened the six volumes of exercises one by one and spread them on the table: "This set of exercises was actually created by the previous master of the Fifth Peak, Venerable Lingxu."

"Where is he now?" Jiang Yingxue almost blurted out.

"He ascended long ago."

"Oh...I see. I was thinking I could ask him if I had any questions."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chuan raised his eyebrows twice. "The place where he ascended is in the Qianling Valley behind the Fifth Peak. If you go there now, you can still see the ruins and the stone tablet. You can go and pay your respects and see if he will answer your questions in your dreams."

"Tsk, that's hard to say. Maybe he really did appear in my dream because I'm pretty?"

"Then I wish you good luck. After all, no one has succeeded in inheriting the legacy for hundreds of years. Now everyone is beginning to doubt whether that place is really the place where the old man ascended to heaven. Perhaps it is just a legend."

Jiang Yingxue carefully recalled the content of the original novel. Even though the male and female protagonists were both from the Fifth Peak, there was no description of which ancestor of the Fifth Peak they inherited the legacy from. They only got opportunities when they were out on missions. Could it be that it was just a legend?

While thinking, Yan Chuan brought the topic back: "Okay, let's get back to the topic, or let's talk about the Lanxu Heart Method. The Lanxu Heart Method is divided into six levels. The first level is for beginners. Although it is basic, it can already draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body and understand the sense of qi.

The second level is a method for strengthening the body. At this level, spiritual energy flows throughout the body, making mundane ailments impervious to attack, and the bones and muscles become as strong as iron. This is the basic requirement for every disciple of the Xianyun Sect. Furthermore, only after reaching the second level can you take the Soul-Restoring Pill, otherwise you will explode and die.

If one can break through to the third level, one can completely open up the meridians throughout the body, consolidate the true qi in the dantian, and cultivate both the inner and outer realms. Attaining this state, one can be said to be free from illness and pain, with a strong and healthy body, and even be immune to many terminal illnesses in the mortal world. Those so-called "terminal illnesses" of ordinary people are nothing but illusions before the third level.

After saying this, Yan Chuan looked at Jiang Yingxue, tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and reminded her, "Mortals cannot escape illness, but cultivators can fight for their lives. Although you can take the Soul-Restoring Pill after practicing to the second level, you said before that you have a terminal illness. In my opinion, if you want to be truly safe, it is best for you to practice to the third level."

Jiang Yingxue nodded and asked, "So, what level are you on now, Senior Brother?"

"I only practiced this set of skills up to the fourth level and then stopped."

Jiang Yingxue was puzzled. "What level do the 4th, 5th, and 6th levels correspond to? Why don't you continue the introduction?"

Yan Chuan was stunned for a moment and said, "I just think you don't look like a very hardworking person. If you can practice to the third level, I will be very pleased."

"Whether you practice or not is one thing, but whether you listen or not is another. Brother, you have to speak your mind completely~"

Yan Chuan frowned and continued, "If one can cultivate the Lanxu Heart Method to the fourth level, one can achieve immunity to all poisons. Those who cultivate to the fifth level can weaken external attacks. The internal Qi will naturally form a layer of protective Qi Gang. This Qi Gang can automatically weaken external attacks without you noticing, whether it is sword energy, palm wind, or demonic magic, it can blunt their edge and reduce their power. Currently, only the sect master and the masters of the five peaks have cultivated to this level."

"That sounds really impressive. What about the sixth floor?"

Hearing this, Yan Chuan took out a scroll from the table and handed it over: "This is the content of the sixth level of the technique, take a look."

Jiang Yingxue spread it out and saw that it was covered with densely packed totems that were difficult to understand.

"This doesn't look like a martial art..."

Yan Chuan explained calmly, "So, apart from Venerable Lingxu himself, no one knows what the sixth level is. Tonight, I will teach you how to practice the first and second levels of the Heart Method. If you have any questions, you can come and ask us at any time. Generally speaking, diligent disciples can reach the second level in two months and the third level in a year. In short, your situation is special, and I have already informed Master. Tonight, I will first teach you the correct posture for Heart Method meditation, and then you can practice on your own without having to come to the academy yet."

After saying that, Yan Chuan looked around and finally sat cross-legged on the couch.

Seeing this, Jiang Yingxue quickly followed suit and sat on the bed.

After all, the space in the room is only this big.

Yan Chuan closed his eyes slightly and whispered, "First, draw the Qi into the body, gradually regulate the breathing, integrate them into your own meridians, and then silently recite the formula of the first level..."

Jiang Yingxue had been a genius in her previous life, and even in this life, even in the world of immortal cultivation, her comprehension was far superior to others. Yan Chuan only needed a few pointers, and Jiang Yingxue was already in the flow. She felt as if she had entered an invisible body of water, the surrounding air slowly flowing towards her, gently flowing into her limbs and bones.

Yan Chuan opened his eyes slightly and was surprised to see Jiang Yingxue's breathing gradually syncing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He had taught so many people, but this was the first time he had encountered someone who had found the direction of cultivation after just a few openings.

The night of cultivation was long and silent. The two people in the room, one in front and one behind, were both immersed in their own cultivation. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only spiritual energy flowed slowly between them.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already daybreak outside the window, and Yan Chuan was nowhere to be seen. Miraculously, Jiang Yingxue didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.
